The last time Wei Changtian and his party rested here, it was early in the morning, and they didn't walk around the temple carefully, so they had the impression that this place was quite honorable.
But now it is midnight, and the temple without a trace of light looks a little more eerie.
"Madam, we have been waiting here for more than a day."
In a dark side room, Lu Huang lowered his voice and said: "Since we have not been able to find the fox demon, it is best to return to the city as soon as possible, so as not to worry about you."
"..."
Xiu frowned slightly, Yang Liushi looked at the dark main hall not far away through the crack in the door, and did not answer immediately.
As Lu Huang said, they had returned to the mountain temple along the road yesterday afternoon, but they had been searching for a long time but could not find the little fox.
Yang Liushi thought at first that the little fox was afraid, so she hid.
So she used illusion magic to block their breath, trying to make the little fox think they had left.
However, nearly two days have passed and the latter still has not appeared.
As a fox demon, Yang Liushi knew that foxes are naturally cautious.
So there are only two situations at the moment.
Either the little fox was still worried, so he had been hiding somewhere in the temple and refused to show up.
Or maybe it's not in the mountain temple at all now.
In Yang Liushi's opinion, the latter is more likely.
After all, that little fox should be able to feel that he is also a fox demon, and since it gave him the Eclipse Bead, he must have a good impression of him.
Therefore, even if Lu Huang is around, the little fox shouldn't be too scared, let alone not showing up for two days.
So are you out hunting?
Or did you leave the Mountain Temple for some other reason?
Yang Liushi couldn't guess, but she understood that if this was the case, then finding the little fox would undoubtedly be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
But if we just leave like this, I'm afraid there will be even less chance...
"General Lu, please wait one more night."
After thinking for a moment, Yang Liushi whispered: "It just so happens that it's not safe to travel in the middle of the night. Why don't we wait one more night in the temple."
"If the fox demon doesn't show up early tomorrow morning, we will go back to Liangzhou City."
"What do you think?"
"this......"
Lu Huang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "In that case, then just follow what the lady said."
"good."
Looking at Lu Huang who looked a little tired, Yang Liushi also felt sleepy.
The two of them had not had much rest since they entered the mountain. They had been concentrating on finding the little fox for the past two days, for fear of missing any movement.
If ordinary people were like this, they would probably fall down from exhaustion long ago. Even if the body functions of practitioners are far superior to ordinary people, it does not mean that they are immortals who do not need to eat, drink and sleep, so they will inevitably be tired and unbearable at the moment.
"General Lu, please take a rest."
After thinking for a while, Yang Liushi said softly to Lu Huang: "I will just keep an eye on the situation in the temple. If anything happens, I will wake you up."
"Don't worry, madam, everything will be fine in the end!"
How dare Lu Huang have the nerve to let Yang Liushi stare at him while he went to sleep soundly.
Not to mention that the latter is Wei Changtian's woman, the gap in their realms alone does not allow him to rest in front of Yang Liushi.
It was a matter of a third-grade master and a man's dignity. Even though Lu Huangdang rejected Yang Liushi's suggestion, he deliberately put on a relaxed look.
When Yang Liushi saw this, she didn't try to dissuade her any more. She just turned her head and continued to stare at the situation in the main hall.
Silence returned to the side room until half an hour later...
"Hoo~ho~ho~"
Rhythmic snoring came and went. If the entire side room had not been blocked by Yang Liushi's magic, I am afraid that the snoring could be heard in the entire mountain temple.
No matter how harsh Lu Huang was, his physical fatigue would not be relieved at all.
So just now he just wanted to close his eyes and adjust for a few breaths, but ended up falling asleep directly.
"..."
Glancing at Lu Huang, who was lying unsteadily on the chair, Yang Liushi shook his head helplessly and did not wake him up.
To be honest, her cultivation level is not as good as Lu Huang's, and she also has to maintain illusions, so she should be more tired and sleepy than the latter now.
But in order to find the little fox and ask about the situation of the Eclipse Bead, Yang Liushi has been forcing herself not to lose focus for a single second...even though there is a high probability that she will get nothing.
What if the little fox appeared when I was distracted?
Knowing that the little fox might have visited a treasure hiding place, Yang Liushi didn't want Wei Changtian to miss such a big opportunity because of his negligence.
The young master is so kind to me, so I have to consider the young master even more.
What's more, finding the little fox will also be good for you...
Thinking like this, Yang Liushi bit the tip of her tongue gently, and the stinging pain like an electric shock immediately made her feel more energetic.
And at this moment, I don't know if her persistence finally moved the heavens, but a white light suddenly flashed in the dark main hall opposite.
"Um?"
Yang Liushi's eyes suddenly widened and she stood up instantly.
She knew that she was absolutely right. There was indeed a slender white light that flashed into the soles of the Snow Goddess just now!
It's just that the white color is not the pure white of the monster's fur, but a kind of innocence like moonlight.
So it’s not a little fox.
What exactly is that?
No matter what the considerations are, it is necessary to go to the Snow God Statue to investigate the situation.
but......
Looking at Lu Huang who was still sleeping soundly not far away, Yang Liushi slowly took steps towards the darkness.
...
...
If we follow the old-fashioned plots in previous film and television works, Yang Liushi will definitely leave Lu Huang alone to investigate the situation at this time, and then encounter a crisis as he should and be in danger.
But the reality is not like this.
After deciding to find out what was going on, Yang Liushi immediately woke up Lu Huang and told the latter what had just happened.
After almost a stick of incense, the two of them left the side room very cautiously and walked into the main hall of the mountain temple.
"call!"
The fire suddenly appeared, dimly illuminating the surrounding area.
Lu Huang casually dismantled a wooden table, used his internal energy to light two table legs to serve as torches, and then he and Yang Liushi held up the torches and began to carefully explore the location where the white light disappeared just now.
In fact, they have inspected this snow statue several times, but they haven't found anything wrong.
However, when the suspicious scope was further narrowed and the two of them checked more carefully, they finally found the anomaly.
"General Lu, look here."
Pointing to a mark at the foot of the statue, Yang Liushi frowned slightly.
Lu Huang immediately came over, took one look and said thoughtfully:
"This is a scratch."
"Scratches? Does that mean something moved on the pedestal of the statue?"
"Yeah, and it's a heavy object."
Lu Huang squinted his eyes and looked up at the snow statue several feet high.
"Madam, I will see that it is the one that cannot be moved."
"..."
Obviously, Lu Huang was not referring to the statue coming to life and moving on its own.
But the statue itself is a huge "door", and there should be something hidden under it.
If analyzed along this line of thinking, then there must be some mechanism that allows the statue to move.
But where is this mechanism? How can I move the statue?
"Madam, please step back a moment or two."
After further exploration to no avail, Lu Huang suddenly pulled out his sword with a "cang clang" sound.
Yang Liushi knew what he was going to do, but she did not dissuade him, but slowly retreated to the palace gate.
Then, she saw the long knife in Lu Huang's hand suddenly sparkle with a green blade light, and then he slashed hard at the kind-looking Snow God statue without any hesitation.
"boom!!!"
"Crash!!!"
The power of a third-level master's full blow was so huge that although it was tall, the hollow statue could not withstand it. In an instant, it was turned into countless fragments with a loud noise.
As a Taoist practitioner, he destroyed a Taoist statue so casually. From this point of view, Lu Huang was also a ruthless person.
However, at this time, Yangliu Shi had no time to think about all this. Instead, he immediately came to the platform and looked down in the billowing dust.
The statue of the god has been destroyed, and most of the white stone pedestal has been lost.
And among the rubble and rubble on the ground, there was actually a dark cave entrance.
